The harvest is coming to a close for 2011. It has been a good harvest with some exceptional yields of Wheat, Barley and OSR. The high yields of Winter OSR have led to an unprecedented demand for seed. Thus it is important to get your order for seed in now if you haven’t already done so. After sowing use Butisan S @ 1.5l/ha to seal the seedbed from any weeds that may germinate over the winter months. It is generally recommended to sow hybrid varieties in September such as Excalibur or ExPower. Quinns are offering Oil Seed Rape contracts for 2012 harvest.
Contact your local Quinns Rep for further details.

Seed |

Quinns have a wide range of winter cereal seed available. The main variety of winter barley available is Saffron. When weather is good it would be recommended to start sowing winter barley in late September so it becomes established before the winter months. The principal winter wheat varieties available are Cordiale, Einstein, JB Diego and Lion.
For further details on winter seed varieties and availability contact your Quinns Rep. |

Re-Seeding |
|
| |
We are now in the eleventh hour for reseeding and would recommend for anyone sowing in September that they go with a higher seeding rate (approx 15kg/acre) and where there is no soil test done use 100kg granlime per acre with your standard 3 bags of 10-10-20 per acre. It may also be better to wait until spring to sow clover as temperatures are decreasing quite quickly now.

As feeding quantity in grass decreases, it is now time for dairy farmers to decide on winter rations for their cows. This year rations seem to be better value than straights due to the rise in price of all commodities. We at Quinns would be delighted to formulate a ration to suit your herd requirements.
For further information on diets and nutrition contact Jason on 086-0491808.
